Hello (and Moin Moin) ;)

I have currently a straith Problem ...

I have our IMAP-Server migrated from an old cyrus the the current stable
Version of dovecot.
In the old configuration we organized many mails (e.g. root-Stuff) in
Public Folders. They structure had nearly 5 folderlevels.

After the complete migration an syncronize we switch complete to the
dovecot setup.

At this moment we have problems with access to the Public Folders.
(We use as Client the actualy Thunderbird3 ...)

When i want subscribe Folders, i have no access to folder are deeper as
second level!

Now, i have testet with rawlogs an switch on the debugging in
Thunderbird, but a have no more idea! :-(

Here an extract of our Public Folders:
,-------------------------------------
Shared Folders
          +- shared
              +- backup
              |     +- archive
              |     +- warnings
              +- databases
                    +- WARNINGS
                    +- ERRORS
                    +- archive
                    +- projects
                          +- ...
                          +- ...
                              +- archive
`-------------------------------------
I can see max. the Folders 'Shared Folders.shared.backup', not they
subfolders! :(

Now the techs:
